..the Nov elections, mayhaps?

Being that all but two of them are Repig jockstraps, I think they are.

In the past few days, they've handed down some rather "interesting" rulings.

This is the usurping crap kangeroo court that appointed King Psychopath. What type of deal does the BFEE have with the court to meddle in the elections by handing down all these assinine rulings lately?

LOOK: here's another one from that Scalia cretin:

http://www.cnn.com/2008/CRIME/06/25/dead.witness.ap/index.html

Dead (abuse) victim's prior statements can't be used at trial (victim was threatened with death by abuser)

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Supreme Court ruled Wednesday that a convicted killer deserves a new trial because jurors heard testimony that should have been excluded. His ex-girlfriend made the statements shortly before he killed her.

The justices, in a 6-3 vote, reaffirmed the rights of criminal defendants to confront witnesses against them, even in cases where the defendant is responsible for the witness' absence.

The issue arose in the case of Dwayne Giles, arrested in the shooting death of Brenda Avie in 2002, several weeks after she told police that Giles had assaulted her and threatened to kill her.

Justice Antonin Scalia said in his majority opinion that domestic violence, though "an intolerable offense," does not justify "abridging the rights of criminal defendants."

Gotta wonder. :tinfoilhat:
